The Day I Died. Content Warning.
I had a long life ahead of me. I had 2 kids and a loving wife. I perfect, sincere job. I was on a run to become the headsman in my institution. Everything looks clean and clear. But there's something we always forget. The ending.

My Entry into the Workforce
I remember the day that I got hired for the first day of my full-time job. It was a front desk student affairs position directing students to student services and admission processing. I started on a Tuesday, the day after Labor Day, in September of 2013. The reason I was in a rush to work was because I desperately wanted to get married and have a family. This was just how my nineteen-year-old mind worked at the time. A job or career was a necessity in order to have a family. The girl I loved during the latter years of my teenager years moved away. Apparently, she didn’t want me to follow her across the country to go to the same university as her, even though I was more than willing to do so. I thought it would have been so amazing to attend the same university. Supposedly, from the counsel of her parents, they didn’t think I was the right person for her to be with anyhow. Or, maybe she just used them as an excuse… whatever.

In University:Behind Closed Doors
Behind Closed Doors It began like any normal semester. Students at a well-known University in Pakistan began attending their lectures as usual. Among them were students in the Computer Software Department, a place where students dream of launching tech careers, building apps, and writing code.

World’s Biggest Non-Nuclear Explosion Ever
On July 31, 2020, a satellite image of Beirut Port in Lebanon looked ordinary. But just four days later, the same port would transform into a war zone—leveled hangars, shattered buildings, and a giant crater the size of two Boeing 747s. What happened on August 4, 2020, would become one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in human history.

The Well's Whisper
The Well's Whisper The silence shattered the moment frantic screams pierced the humid Texas air. It was October 14, 1987 — a day that dawned like any other, filled with the lazy hum of summer’s lingering warmth and the innocent laughter of an 18-month-old child. Jessica McClure, a tiny whirlwind of curiosity, played joyfully in her aunt’s backyard in Midland, Texas, when the unthinkable occurred. One moment she was there — a bright spark of life — and the next, it was as if the earth had swallowed her whole. She had vanished into an abandoned, eight-inch wide, 22-foot deep well — a dark, narrow maw in the unsuspecting ground.

The Reflection That Wouldn't Look Away
The Reflection That Wouldn’t Look Away At first, it was nothing—just a flicker. Lena caught it while brushing her teeth one night. Her reflection blinked just a beat too slow, the kind of thing you'd shrug off as tired eyes or a smudge on the mirror. She leaned closer, squinting. Everything seemed normal. The toothbrush moved when hers did. Her lips parted when she spat. She laughed at herself and went to bed.
